Pure Elegance

The new Porsche Design Pure is a great-looking and sporty fountain pen with an 18-karat gold nib. It is available in Pure Black with a matte black finish ($525), packaged with a keepsake leather paperweight reminiscent of a Porsche 911. The Pure Titanium Deluxe limited edition fountain pen offers just 200 pieces worldwide ($2,800). Also with an 18-karat gold nib, the Pure Titanium Deluxe is sleek in look and comfortable in the hand. Chartpak, which also distributes Pelikan in the US, has recently been named the distributor of Porsche Design.

About Me

I have been in the publishing industry for over 20 years and have written extensively about writing instruments, watches and jewelry during that time. Having served as editor for various luxury publications, I particularly love to interview artists, designers and corporate executives related to my scope of interest to understand their motivations and perspective. I believe that a product may be transformed from simply an inanimate object to a work of art by understanding the ethos of the artist who created it. And I'm crazy about pens.
